There was absolutely zero change done to the route and released by us from day 1 on Tidewater, for either version, TANE had worked fine for quite a while, then Alex did the TS19 version. It was released as working and functional as the problem in question was only brought up to us in mass about when this thread started. Alex did absolutely no change, nor uploaded any change for either version of the route in this time span so how did we change something and it mysteriously break?
How were we supposed to verify your one off possible problem at the time when no one at the time could actually re-create the issue? Don't get me wrong this game does weird things, we had one pop up just starting to test the fixed route/sessions for this, it didn't work correctly at a junction on first install, but we deleted it and reinstalled again and somehow....it was 100% the 2nd time around. How is that possible? We don't even know, because on both instances there were no Open for Edits, all dependencies installed and nothing out of the ordinary.
SP1 was issued in December 2019. Reviews cover the period May through early July 2020 with no mention of issues (other than someone having trouble finding dependencies). I purchased the 2019 version of the route in June 2020 and reported the problem in August or September 2020. SP2 came out in December 2020. SP3 came out April 2021.
Here is the Yard entrance in T:ANE version. Note the placement of "Junction Tide Water" and the signal gantry
Here is the yard entrance in the 2019 version. The junction has moved, another crossing was added and the signal gantry is changed.
So,ok, a Service Pack update made the changes. I apologize for the rant. Obviously I am mistaken. I can't remember when I installed the Service Packs. I usually wait a month to see what the fallout looks like. Generally causes a number of errors that are usually fixed by an extended database repair.
And to the author, wearsprada, I must say you did a beautiful job and everything makes more sense now. The level of detail and the care that you put into the route are obvious. You didn't just update the original, you gave us a masterpiece. What you did with the former Mapleton yard and port area alone is amazing.
And for those that may never have seen the original, here is the same view to the yard entrance
That's actually an updated version of the original, compliant with Trainz 12 and tweaked by the author. Crossings, roads, and track were replaced.
EDIT: Apologies if there is any confusion about the last image. I just wanted to show how much better the new route looks and how much work was put into it versus what the original looked like.
